    Ok this might get lengthy, but who cares.. just pic your favorite songs and post the lyrics. And please do not post too much language...

    Against All Odds by Phil Collins

    "How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
    When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
    You're the only one who really knew me at all

    How can you just walk away from me,
    when all I can do is watch you leave
    Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the
    tears
    You're the only one who really knew me at all

    So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
    And there's nothing left here to remind me,
    just the memory of your face
    Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
    And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've
    got to face

    I wish I could just make you turn around,
    turn around and see me cry
    There's so much I need to say to you,
    so many reasons why
    You're the only one who really knew me at all

    So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
    And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your
    face
    Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

    But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
    Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
    And you coming back to me is against all odds
    It's the chance I've gotta take

    Take a look at me now"

    Suicide And Other Comforts - Cradle of Filth

    I pace, alone
    In a place for the dead
    Overcome by woe
    And here, I've grown
    So fond of dread
    That I swear it's heaven

    Oh sweet Mary,
    Dressed in grief
    Roll back the stone

    With these words scrawled in a severed hand
    Tears fall like shards of glass that band
    In rivers, like sinners
    Swept with me to join the damned

    A darkened sky
    The day that laughter died
    Fell swiftly into night
    And stayed within Her sight
    Staring at the knife
    Oh God, how easy now the sacrifice
    My life, to have Her with me

    So farewell to distant thunder
    Those inept stars I've worshipped under
    Fall father, their Father
    Lies in wait in flames below
    Whilst my love, a blood red flower
    Calls to me from verdant bowers
    Graveside, I cry
    Please save me from this Hell I know

    A darkened sky
    The day that laughter died
    Fell swiftly into night
    And stayed within Her sight
    Staring at the knife
    Oh God, how easy now to sacrifice
    My life, to have Her with me

    An eye for an eye as espied in the bible
    My faith is lost to the burning of idols
    One less cross to press upon the survival
    Of this lorded agony

    And I, (much as I have tried
    To bury Her from mind,
    Fate's tourniquet was tied, when She died...)
    Still sense Her presence so divine
    Lithe arms about my throat
    Like pining swans entwined
    Footfalls at nightfall close to mine

    Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release

    I snatch Her whisper like the wind through cedars
    See Her face in every natural feature
    Midst the mist and sleepy hollows of fever...
    With glee deceiving me

    Suicide is a tried and tested formula for release

    I hear Her voice from where the grave defies Her
    Sirensong to sing along, no finer
    Suicide notes, harmonised in a minor
    Strike a chord with misery

    No light nor reef
    No unsinkable of romance keeps me
    Safely from the stormy seas
    Now drowning, resounding
    Death-knells pound my dreams
    Unthinkable to dredge through this
    Listless and lonely winter frieze

    A darken sky
    This day hereafter dies
    Falls swiftly into night
    And stays within my sight
    Staring at the knife
    Oh God, how ease it was to sacrifice
    My life, to have Her with me

    No more a victim of a crusade
    Where souls are strung from a moral palisade
    I slit my wrists and quickly slip away...
    I journey now on jewelled sands
    Beneath a moon to Summerlands
    To grace Her lips with contraband
    The blaze once in my veins

    So are we lost or do we know,
    which direction we should go.
    Sit around and wait for someone to take our hands and lead the way.
    Cause everyday we're getting older,
    and everyday we all get colder,
    we're sick of waiting for our answers, answers.

    Wake up, wake up, wake up
    yah im so tired of waiting,
    waiting for us to,
    Wake up wake up yah im so sick of waiting, for us to make a move.

    Are we meant to take the pain,
    should we sit around and wait.
    Are we being saved or was it under the light you made to make us hate.

    Cause everday we're getting older,
    and everday we all get colder,
    we're sick of waiting for our answers.

    Wake up, wake up , wake up




    yah im so tired of waiting, waiting for us to,
    wake up wake up wake up
    yah im so sick of waiting for us to make a move
    wake up wake up wake up
    and we will never lose,
    wake up wake up wake up its time to make a move,
    wake up wake up wake up
    its time to make a move

    Its not enough you thought it was,
    its over.

    We're sick of waiting for our answers...

    Wake up wake up wake up
    yah im so tired of waiting,
    waiting for us to.
    Wake up wake up wake up yah im so sick of waiting for us to make a move.

    Wake up wake up wake up
    and we will never lose,
    wake up wake up wake up
    its time to make a move
    wake up wake up wake up
    and we will never lose,
    wake up wake up wake up,
    oh make a move.

    if you here the song it sounds better...its Wake Up(Make A Move) By Lost Prophets

    Bone Thugs N Harmony - If I Could Teach The World

    Tupac - My Block would be #2

    i love all their work, but this song stands out for me

    Krayzie:

    Why do I stay high? . . .

    Bizzy:

    Why do I stay high? . . .

    Krayzie:

    If I could teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a thug in harmony,
    harmony,
    then I would teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a thugsta just
    like me, like me.

    Krayzie:

    How many more days on this old earth. Can you see? It's blind to me, so
    we should get ready for Armageddon, 'cause I know God should be ready
    to roll. Do away with the wickedest shit like Mr. Policeman, and, dog, if
    you with it, then pump up your fist in the air, then pray for the politicians
    freely, get an amen, the last days of the last day, day, day.

    Bizzy:

    That's why I get high. That's why I get high. I'm holdin' on to my soul,
    but nobody knows when it all unfolds, and then when I go, I go.
    Remember the dead, 'cause all that I got, I got all on my own with Bone,
    Bone, Bone, muggin' thuggin' through your door. Hoes speakin' of the
    last and the time when I'm passed, and Charlie wanna hear ya Bone, but I
    can't go wrong. I'm a flip it with my song, better turn it on, 'cause you
    love that thuggish ruggish Bone Bone Bone Bone, Crossroads, what a
    real cruel world, now I doubt the journey of us lost souls, who meant so
    much. Why wasn't I chose? But He will not stop clones whose shots
    don't drop Bone, no oh, oh, oh, and if I could teach the world to be a thug
    like me, then they probably be thuggin' in heaven eternally.

    Layzie:

    Everyday the world goes round and round. I see it's a small world after
    all, 'cause I can go meet, and I greet with my fans, smoke a little weed
    and have a little laugh with ya'll, but every now and then, I gets caught up
    in the playa hation. Lord, what's wrong with this nation? Erase 'em. But
    if I could to teach the world to be a thug just like me, you could live your
    lifestyle worry-free in the arms of the Lord eternally. No mystery, but
    check the essence of the story: a warrior, wasteland warrior so true.
    Divine--it's mine, East 1999, it's where you're findin' all of my kind
    everytime.

    Krayzie:

    If I could teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a thug in harmony,
    harmony,
    then I would teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a thugsta just
    like me, like me [if I, if I].

    Krayzie:

    We stand as united, but fall if divided. My thugs is the tightest, 'cause
    God is our guide, and they only define us as killas and fighters. The
    critics and writers backstab when typin' our story. The war to be warrior,
    that's for sure, and as thugs we're more and more and more and more.

    Wish:

    I got, we got too much shit to give, got shit to give, especially, but still
    understood by the older folks and little kids. Come on, all a y'all, follow
    me. Bone, way to go, we know the way to go, follow me, follow me,
    Bone, and that's why I stay high, 'cause I got shit to deal with--the
    government and these playa haters out to kill Wish, wanna hurt this, but,
    uh uh, I got true Mo Thug niggas you just can't **** with, artillery you
    can't come with. //, better let it rest, shit. To the little boys and girls
    all over the world, this shit that we say's for the streets--not for you to go
    and do or to repeat. Please, if we can, no more murder amongst
    ourselves. If we can, no more murder.

    Krayzie:

    If I could teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a thug in harmony,
    harmony then I would teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a
    thugsta just like me, like me.

    with Bizzy:

    Why do I stay high? . . .

    Tupac - Unconditional Love. Verse 2 I beleive

    Just got the message you've been calling all week
    Been out here hustling on these streets, ain't had a chance to speak
    But you know, with you and me it's on G
    We could never be enemies, cause you been such a good friend to me
    Where would I be without my dogs
    No wonder why when times get hard
    Cause it ain't easy being who we are
    Driven by my ambitions, desire higher positions
    So I proceed to make Gs, eternally in my mission
    Is to be more than just a rap musician
    The elevation of today's generation
    If could make 'em listen
    Prison ain't what we need, no longer stuck in greed
    Time to play and strategize, my family's gotta eat
    When we make somethin out of nothing
    No pleasure in the suffering, neighborhood would be good
    If they could cut out all the busting
    The liquor and the weed the cussing
    Sending love out to my block
    The struggle never stops




    The bold and underlined is an example of why Tupac is so great. He was not all about "suck my dick suck my dick suck my dick" like 50 Cent. He wanted the world to be a better place. R.I.P. Pac

    another example of tupacs greatness and a very good song, one of my favorites


    They got a //
    Sheddin tears, reminiscin on my past fears
    Cause shit was hectic for me last year
    It appears that I've been marked for death, my heartless breath
    The underlying cause of my arrest, my life is stressed
    And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary
    for all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
    Shit is scary, how black on black crime legendary
    But at times unnessecary, I'm gettin worried
    Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic
    And certain death for us ghetto bastards
    What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire
    Life in the pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather die
    But don't cry through your despair
    I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare
    And who cares if we survive
    The only time they notice a // is when he's clutchin on a four-five
    My neighborhood ain't the same
    Cause all these little babies goin crazy and they sufferin in the game
    And I swear it's like a trap
    But I ain't given up on the hood, it's all good when I go back
    Hoes show me love, niggaz give me props
    Forever hop cause it don't stop... on my block

    Livin life is but a dream
    Hard times is all we see (on my block)
    Every block is kinda mean
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy...

    Now shit's constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots
    Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops
    Black male slippin in hail when will we prevail
    Fearin jail but crack sales got me livin well
    And the system's sucidal with this Thug's Life
    Stayin strapped forever strapped in this drug life
    God help me, cause I'm starvin, can't get a job
    So I resort to violent robberies, my life is hard
    Can't sleep cause all the dirt make my heart hurt
    Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers
    Mislead from childhood where I went astray
    Till this day I still pray for a better way
    Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke
    From the start I felt the racism cause I'm dark
    Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent
    Hit the bar and played the star, everywhere I went
    In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own
    I close my eyes and picture home... on my block

    Livin life is but a dream
    Hard times is all we see (on my block)
    Every block is kinda mean
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy...

    And I can't help but wonder why, so many young kids had to die
    Caught strays from AK's and the driveby
    Swollen pride and homicide, don't coincide
    Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside
    Cause our block is filled with danger
    Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers
    Time changes us to stone them crack pipes
    All up and down the block exterminatin black life
    But I can't blame the dealers
    My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels
    Shit's real, I know ya feel, my tragedy
    A single mother with a problem child, daddy free
    Hangin out pickin up game, sippin cheap liquor
    Gamin the hoochies hopin I can get to sleep with her
    It's a man's world, stayin strapped
    Fantasies of a // livin phat, but held back
    Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless
    Wide eyed and losin focus... on my block

    Livin life is but a dream
    Hard times is all we see (on my block)
    Every block is kinda mean
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy...

    And block parties in tha projects lastin way past daylight
    A young // learned to break night
    Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen
    I send them ends, but it's tough on a friend, in my mind
    I see the same mother****ers ballin
    Alcohol will make a lazy // slip and fall, miss his call
    I know the young niggaz understand this
    Growing up in this world where everything is scandalous
    I reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes
    Tryin to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime
    Can't explain, just what attracts me to this dirty game
    Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame
    And what's strange is everybod knows my name, swear they all know me
    And lots of cash make a // change
    I hit the green just to maintain, feelin pain
    For all the niggaz that I lost to the game... from my block

    Livin life is but a dream
    Hard times is all we see (on my block)
    Every block is kinda mean
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy
    But on our block we still prayyyyyy...

    Rest in peace to all the muh'****ers who passed away
    From all the blocks that I'm from
    One-twelve street, 7th Avenue, New York, Uptown, knahmsayin?
    183rd and Walt, my block, that's right
    122nd and Morningside, my block, that's right
    Decatur Avenue, Baltimore, my block, that's right
    In the jungle of Atlantic City, that's my block, that's right
    Los Angeles, haha, that's my block too
    Oakland, can't forget Oaktown, that's my block for sure
    And all the other blocks around this /*
    Houston, Florida, St. Louis, Tennessee, Miami, Chicago
    All y'all niggaz stay kickin up dust
    Represent the mother****in block

    Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
    This is just the first part of my favorite song:

    They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do
    You always gotta watch mother****ers around you
    Nobody's invincible no plan is foolproof
    We all must meet our moment of truth


    he same sheisty cats that you hang with and do your thang with
    could set you up and wet you up // peep the language
    It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
    or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
    Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracks
    it doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
    That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
    It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
    But I can't jeapordize, what I have done up to this point
    So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
    Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
    You know I be the masterof the who what where and why
    See when you're shinin, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
    Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
    down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
    cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
    But just as you'll receive what is comin to you
    Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
    I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
    That everyone must meet their moment of truth

    Guns N Roses: Civil War:

    "What we've got here is failure to
    communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach...
    So, you get what we had here last week,
    which is the way he wants it!
    Well, he gets it!
    N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

    Look at your young men fighting
    Look at your women crying
    Look at your young men dying
    The way they've always done before

    Look at the hate we're breeding
    Look at the fear we're feeding
    Look at the lives we're leading
    The way we've always done before

    My hands are tied
    The billions shift from side to side
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
    For the love of God and our human rights
    And all these things are swept aside
    By bloody hands time can't deny
    And are washed away by your genocide
    And history hides the lies of our civil wars

    D'you wear a black armband
    When they shot the man
    Who said "Peace could last forever"
    And in my first memories
    They shot Kennedy
    I went numb when I learned to see
    So I never fell for Vietnam
    We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
    That you can't trust freedom
    When it's not in your hands
    When everybody's fightin'
    For their promised land

    And
    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war

    Look at the shoes your filling
    Look at the blood we're spilling
    Look at the world we're killing
    The way we've always done before
    Look in the doubt we've wallowed
    Look at the leaders we've followed
    Look at the lies we've swallowed
    And I don't want to hear no more

    My hands are tied
    For all I've seen has changed my mind
    But still the wars go on as the years go by
    With no love of God or human rights
    'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
    By bloody hands of the hypnotized
    Who carry the cross of homicide
    And history bears the scars of our civil wars

    "WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT
    OFFICIALS
    FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
    THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
    AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
    PEACE IS CLOSER" **

    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    And I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war
    I don't need one more war

    I don't need one more war
    Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

    I also love a lot of metallica's lyrics, but there's too many songs to list.

    Actually, it's Make A Move.

    A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless

    Tilling my own grave to keep me level
    Jam another dragon down the hole
    Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
    One that pushes me along and leaves me so

    Desperate and Ravenous
    I'm so weak and powerless over you

    Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
    White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

    Desperate and Ravenous
    I'm so weak and powerless over you

    Little angel go away
    Come again some other day
    The devil has my ear today
    I'll never hear a word you say
    He promised I would find a little solace
    And some piece of mind
    Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

    Desperate and Ravenous
    I'm so weak and powerless over you
    Desperate and Ravenous
    I'm so weak and powerless
    over you
    Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men.
    Drown us at birth, save her some time.
    Drifting on romantic holiday,
    breathless as her cold arms cover me.

    ..
